Why iodoacetic acid is more acidic than acetic acid?

This can be explained by the fact that iodine being electronegativity with an -I effect can stabilize the carbohydrates in which is produced after the ionization of acid by dispersing its negative charge . It therefore favours the ionization of carboxylic acid and thus enhances its acidity . CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O I-CH2COOH + H2O______ I-CH2COO- + H3O+


Why formic acid is stronger than acetic acid?

As we know that acetic acid is CH3 substituted formic acid .since CH3 is an electron donating relative to hydrogen .so, it donates the electron to carboxyl group and makes it more negative. this phenomenon makes acetic acid weaker acid than formic acid .Thus formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid.

Acetic acid is weaker than oxalic acid?

Yes, Acetic acid is a mono carboxylic acid while Oxalic acid is dicarboxylic acid, due to two proton donating ability of oxalic acid and high polarity in molecule make it more soluble in water so it produces a large no of hydrogen ions in solution as compare to acetic acid.
